contracts has been light and the room unwi-

from the South seemed to show more or less
improving crop conditions. European lacked
spirit In August there was pretty big drop
owing to free offerings of notices, for which
there was no demand and Under the pressure
there was a continuous decline until the differ
ence as compared with last evening amounted
to 1jGr1S points, winding up at about the lowest
Spots remained steady and met with fair in
quiry from home sources"

CHICAGO Aug 25.-The menace to prices in
the California situation caused wheat to open
trihe lower than yesterdays close, September
starting at 6614 6D6S}sc Trading dragged heavily
throughout the session, but prices improved
somewhat, due largely TO sympathy with other
markets and free export shipments. The big
houses did not do much, and the greater part Of
the session September was steady at 6S36c,
closing at that figure. There is still some talk
on Change about hot wheat. and some shippers
account for the depressed condition in the
speculative market on the theory that the trade
is afraid of wheat. The bulls controlled corn
speedily regained. The closing prices were very
nearly at the same points as on Tuesday for
September and May, with the intervening flu
lures higher. The opening prices were 4036c
for September 413sc for October, 3331c for May.
The closing prices were Il14G4411Gc for Septem-
Der, 42c for October and December, and 4512c
for May The weather in the corn belt was cool
and less favorable for maturing the crop. just
before the close il was known that room for
2l5000 bushels was engaged, and with one or
two houses Offering to buy quite freely, &c of
the advance for the day was made in the fifteen
minutes before closing. Provisions were again
easier but speculation was light and that was
the only way traders had OF accounting for the
slight declines which aggregated 715c on pork,
2lac on lard, and 216c on January ribs. Lard
was offered quite freely, and September sold at
So 4OG6 42ib January at SO $4,000 511a, and
closed at 50 IS. Short ribs for cash and Sep
tember were steady, owing TO large purchases
by a local operator, who took 100000 pounds
cash at 81 9O6lT 95, and was reported to be load
January was easier at So 25G,6 30, and closed at
